Caspar Creuziger

[1][2] He was professor of Theology at the University of Wittenberg,[1] preacher at the Castle Church (Wittenberg, Germany), secretary to and worked with Martin Luther to revise Luther's German Bible translation.

The outbreak of the plague drove him to Wittenberg in 1521, where he completed his studies in the Hebrew language.

During these years, Martin Luther included him in the reformer's circle of translators, who assisted him in revising the German Bible version.

He served as a delegate to theological convocations at Hagenau, Worms and Regensburg.

In 1524 he married the former nun Elisabeth von Meseritz - they had one daughter (Elisabeth, who married rector Kegel and then, on his death, Luther's son Hans in Eisleben) and one son (Caspar Cruciger the Younger).
